Flexible Coordination in Resource-Constrained Domains.

Abstract

In this report, we summarize the research performed under Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) contract F30602-90-C-0119, Flexible Coordination in Resource Constrained Multiagent Domains. The broad goal of this research, which was carried out as part of ARPA/Rome Laboratories Planning Initiative (PI), has been to investigate the use of constraint based scheduling frameworks and techniques as a basis for more accurate and more flexible decision support at various stages of the military crisis action planning, deployment and employment process. This work has led to development of a transportation scheduling system called DITOPS, which provides advanced capabilities for construction, analysis and revision of large-scale deployment schedules.
